The Man and Brother in Ohio.

Maybe the Republican pharisees OF Ohio
are not being well dosed with their own
medicine in these cool autumn days. 1t
has not been long since their leading organs
end political psalm singers had ample time
to fairly howl at the ''barbarity" of the
Georgians for seeking to prevent education
al miscegenation by prescribing penalties
for such an offence. They eagerly availed
of the occasion to vent their implacable
hostility to the South; and the way they
did fume and rage over the Glenn educa-
tional bill was sight to behold. Bnt now
these whited. sepulchres are exposed to
public ridicule. They have no longer any
time to intermeddle in other peoples af-
fairs; but are sorely perplexed over their
own domestic concerns. Their fanaticism
has come home to them to vex their righte-
GUS souls. Under the experimental plan OF
CO education inst inaugurated the public
school system bids fair to be utterly wreck.
ed. The applications for the admission OF
negro pupils to the white schools were not
many, but enough, and more, to raise
"prejudicial'' cutlery from the Republican
parents. The schools in Yellow Springs
and elsewhere are closed in compliance with
the urgent objections of the whites to the
admission of colored pupils. and the COM
missioners announce that they will not be
opened again until the negro children con-
sent to 90 to those set apart for them. And
vet, the ''barbarous" law which brings about
all this excitement takes from the commits
sioners the right to maintain separate
schools for the two races. The feeling has
become very intense in many portions of
the State, and the matter promises to result
uufavorably to the colored brother. Boy
cotting is being resorted to; and those EN-.
ploying negro servants are discharging
them; and in Yellow Springs white bar
Der has been imported to complete with
the colored artist who has hitherto enjoyed
a monopoly of the shaving business.
Of such is the kingdom of Northern Re-
publican pha-isees, who think co-education,
and miscegena ton and social equality are
good things to be applied to other COM
munities than their own. - Lynchbv9
